Warm it Up: Maine Warmers Polar Bear Heating Pad
Time to share with you my favorite gift of the holiday season - a present from my friend Jane. (Okay, full disclosure: we were strolling along Huron Avenue in Cambridge and found a basket full of these critters in Gray Mist, fell in love with them, and each bought one for the other. A perfect holiday gift-giving strategy.)
It looks like a wooly little polar bear -- snuggly, cute, filled with something that feels like an oversized Beany Baby. It's actually a microwaveable (and chillable) heating and cooling pad. You pop it in the microwave for two minutes, and out it comes, all toasty and warm, ready to soothe your achy muscles, relieve cramps, warm the bottom of the bed, or just snuggle up to you and make you feel warm and cozy.
Made in Maine by a company called Maine Warmers, the bear is actually filled with whole corn kernels, so when you heat it, it smells faintly of popcorn. The soft Berber covering is removable and machine-washable. When heated (or chilled), the bear stays warm (or cool) for about an hour -- perfect for warming you up, and releasing the stress of the day.
If the Cozy Bear isn't your cup of tea, it also comes in Wooly Lamb, Fuzzy Bunny and extra long Daschund for wrapping around your neck or waist.
Available at Maine Warmers.
